"Chelsea are reportedly keeping an eye on Morgan Rogers as he's yet to hold talks over a new contract with Aston Villa. Rogers is one of Chelsea's top transfer targets for 2026 as they eye a number of top young attacking midfielders. The England international has also been on the radar of Arsenal and Tottenham, and now the Sun have an update on Chelsea's interest."
"It's been very clear that this Chelsea ownership is prepared to invest huge sums of money in the world's best young players, as they did again this summer. As reported for the Daily Briefing, Chelsea wanted Xavi Simons alongside their other deals for Jamie Gittens and Alejandro Garnacho in attack, but that was one deal they missed out on as the Netherlands international ended up joining Tottenham instead."
Chelsea are monitoring Morgan Rogers because he has not yet held talks over a new Aston Villa contract. He is considered a top transfer target for 2026 and has been linked with Arsenal and Tottenham. Rogers extended his Villa deal until 2030 last November, which may reduce immediate urgency for another extension. Villa could face pressure to offer a pay rise after strong performances, but a slow start to the season has delayed such negotiations and some players have been quieter. Chelsea could exploit the situation by offering higher wages and view Rogers as an ideal alternative to other young attacking midfield targets.
